Bellator
MMA continues to strengthen its first card of the coming
year.

The promotion has added a featherweight contest between between
Henry
Corrales and Georgi
Karakhanyan to the lineup for
Bellator 192. The card is scheduled for Jan. 20 at The Forum in
Inglewood, Calif., just outside of Los Angeles.

Corrales-Karakhanyan is expected to join the televised main card of
Bellator 192, which airs live on Spike. The event is headlined by a
Bellator MMA welterweight title bout between champion Douglas
Lima and former Ultimate Fighting Championship belt challenger
Rory
MacDonald and is also set to feature the first bout in the
company’s 2018 heavyweight tournament as Quinton
“Rampage” Jackson takes on Chael
Sonnen.

A former two-division King of the Cage champion, Corrales compiled
an unbeaten 12-0 record before making his Bellator debut in June
2015, when he was choked out by former promotional champ Daniel
Straus. Corrales went on to lose two more consecutive bouts to
Emmanuel
Sanchez and Patricio
“Pitbull” Freire, but has found success since the beginning of
2017. The 31-year-old California native snapped his three-fight
skid in January, notching a first-round knockout of Cody
Bollinger, then took a unanimous decision over Noad Lahat in
August.

Karakhanyan, 32, has pieced together a 4-3 mark inside the Bellator
MMA cage. He dropped a majority decision to the aforementioned
Emmanuel
Sanchez on the same Bellator 170 card Corrales competed on in
January. He competed again alongside Corrales in August, stopping
Daniel
Pineda at Bellator 182.
